AK47 Season 2 Episode 38: A Commentary on Nacho Libre. . . But Not Really

 Aaron and Kyle get together to do their very first film commentary.  We watch Nacho Libre and talk about it. . . Though we mostly end up talking about politics, American history, ministry, and related topics.  After the movie is over, we continue talking about church involvement in the lives of its single congregants.  We encourage you to watch the movie with us during the course of the episode, but you don't have to in order to understand or benefit from our conversation!
